We provide a perspective on the development of direct air capture (DAC) as a leading candidate for implementing negative emissions technology (NET). We introduce DAC based on sorption, both liquid and solid, and draw attention to challenges that these technologies will face. We provide an analysis of the limiting mass transfer in the liquid and solid systems and highlight the differences.
